* Clients who follow our advice on best practices for these seminars invariably cover the cost of their annual Compass data and the seminar - often by a factor of two or three.

This process works beautifully for local media companies in markets large and small.

We coach you on best practices for getting the right people to come to your seminar

We brief your staff by webinar and in-person on what to expect in the seminar

We help you create handouts for the attendees

We provide "objective-expert-from-out-of-town" credibility

We leave you with the slide deck to use in your own presentations

Our advertiser seminars help train sales reps on the value of using good data in a conversation with an advertiser, and give them some hands-on experience with your Compass data.

Clients who engage our On-Site Sales Training before they bring us in for an Advertiser Seminar will get better results from the seminars, but we have plenty of satisfied clients who have done it the other way around too – and had us back for encores.
